It’s funny watching students attempting to pay the bill in a restaurant. Being a UCT undergraduate myself, I identify completely when they gather any loose change together to tip the waiter, or look sheepish when they realise that they paid R72 for a portion of pasta. You know that you’re going to have to live on 2min noodles after that big spend.
Plus, student life can be draining on your pocket. Factor in late nights sipping cocktails, new clothes to bear the cold in the Cape, and you have a very sad looking bank account at the end of the month. So I’ve put together a list of my favourite budget friendly spots in Cape Town =)
Coco Wah Wah Fridays! R35 pasta after 7pm, at the Rondebosch one. Sushi lovers in Claremont have a really good deal. Food Lovers Market has half price sushi after 5pm, or head to Salushi during the day for the same deal.
The Eastern Food Bazaar in town has tasty Indian, Chinese or middle Eastern cuisine at really cheap prices. Plus, the portions are huge!
Bon Bon and Bean Cafe, in St. Peter’s Square has the BEST chocolate cake for something like R10. This stuff is addictive so I suggest you go with a big appetite for a deadly chocolate affair. I cannot say that you will leave guilt free though =)
Happy Hours – love them! Especially since some places have become so cheap that you can start calling it “happy days”.
Trenchtown in Observatory has R17 cocktails everyday between 5pm and 6pm, or you could pop around the corner to The Florentine. This gets you cocktails all night for R17!
Babbo in Claremont has a really good deal. Two-for-one pizza and cocktails between 5pm and 7pm. HA! So, who said eating was cheating?
